Marinated Spicy Skirt Steak

Give your steak a spicy kick.

Yield: Serves 4.

1-1/2 lbs. skirt steak (trimmed of fat)
2 tbsp finely minced garlic
1 can crushed tomatoes (15½ oz.)
1/4 cup chopped cilantro

Steak Marinade:
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 tsp brown sugar
2 tsp fresh ground pepper
2 jalapeños
2 tsp ground cinnamon
2 tbsp lime juice

Mix the ingredients for the marinade together in a large bowl. Place the skirt steak in the mixture and allow the steak to marinate for at least 2 hours in the refrigerator. (It will be more flavorful if left overnight). Heat the olive oil in a skillet on high heat. Carefully transfer the steak to the skillet and brown both sides (approximately 3 minutes per side.) Once the steak reaches the desired doneness, remove the steak and add the garlic and tomatoes to the skillet. Allow the tomatoes and garlic to simmer on medium for 2 minutes. Slice the steak thinly across the grain. Serve hot, topped with tomato sauce and cilantro.
